AI Summary
This bill, the Summer Meals Act of 2019, seeks to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to improve the efficiency of summer meals programs. Key provisions include: reducing the threshold for schools to participate in the summer meals program from 50% to 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, allowing more service institutions to provide year-round meal service, and authorizing competitive grants to increase participation in summer meals programs in underserved, hard-to-reach areas through innovative approaches to transportation and mobile meal trucks. The bill also allows service institutions to be reimbursed for up to one meal and one snack per child served during afterschool hours, weekends, and school holidays.
